Music sorting in iOS7

Is there a way to change the way Music sorts? In IOS 6 it was sorted by artist, then each album was sorted, and you were able to click on a particular album, in IOS7 every album for an artist is in release date order, and its a pain having to scroll through all the albums when you only want one.

Mine were never sorted by release date. It has always been sorted Album by Artist.

Music Sorting in iOS 7.1 (Issue)

I know some people hated it, but iOS 7.0.x sorted music in the Music app by release date which I thought was awesome. Sorting by name also makes sense, so there's no reason why there shouldn't be an option for either. In iOS 7.1.x, the Music app continues sorting by release date, but in descending order (i.e. newest is always at the top of the list) rather than ascending (newest is always at the bottom of the list).
This method of sorting seems utterly useless to me (why is there an implicit assumption in this design that I want the newest music of an artist at the top?), and now I can't just listen to an artist's entire discography in order, which I was thoroughly enjoying before this afternoon's update.
I would VERY much like to see an option within the preferences for the Music app to sort albums by artist in ascending order (oldest album of an artist at the top, and newest at the bottom) as well as by name (in case someone doesn't care about release dates). I shouldn't have to make a playlist to play an artist's discography in order on my phone, especially when I don't have to do that on my computer.

How can I see my classical music sorted according to composers - individual works - performers ?

How can I see my classical music sorted according to composers - individual works - performers ? This is much more useful than sorting according albums.
I have tried using the Grouping tag, writing Composer - Work - conductor there. But if I make a smart playlist, showing only Genre: "classical" and sorting according to Grouping, I see a line for each part in every work: one line for each movement of Mahler's 4th Symphony performed by George Solti, for instance.
What I am looking for is a way so that there is ONE line for each PERFORMANCE, ie, one line for Mahler's 4th Symphony performed by George Solti, below that one line for Mahler's 4th Symphony performed by William Mackerras, and so on.
Anyone found the golden solution? :-)

Music Sorting in S^3

A suggestion for an update to the music player. The music library needs to have an option to sort the music by albums also apart from Artists.
Not everyone organises their music by artists and most Indian music is generally sorted yb Albums. S60 used to have this option but don't understand why this was taken away in S^3

Why can I not download previously bought music directly to iOS7

hello! Will keep it short, but in the Music App in iOS7 there is a tab where One could view "previous purchases". When i click it, it tels me I don't have any purchased movies to download....
Why can't it just check my previously downøoaded music as well? It would be great if apple starts tackling this problem. Right now, Ineed to have all thr music k want to listen tl on my computer and haveto shnc it up there. It seems so clumpsy in a time chere everythingis in the cloud, including my purchase receipts...

Downloading previously purchased music is not available in every country. Check iTunes in the cloud availabilty by country in this document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085

The Music App in iOS7 is an annoying step back - Why?

As a whole, I appreciate the design and functionality changes within iOS7. It's breathed new life into the OS, given people something new to explore and talk about.
But Apple seem to have lost their way when it comes to the basics of playing some music on an iPhone. It's become fiddly, complicated, fragmented and regressed - iOS6 had the right balance
Why? Well, based on personal experience and comments made by colleagues, friends etc, the most regular complaints are..
-- Why have users been forced to listen to podcasts in the separate app? Apple - not everyone listens to spoken word podcasts. We listen to music mixes etc.. Having those mixes in the SAME PLACE as our other music makes it a more seamless experience. Switching apps is a ball-ache
-- Why can't we delete entire Albums in one swipe any more? Track by track, is again, a ballache
-- The controls to scrub through tracks are tiny and barely usable. iOS6 allowed you to scrub and see the slider under your finger - now you have a tiny red line that leads to inaccurate movement thru tracks
-- Music control while the phone is locked is very very frustrating in iOS7 in a few ways...
1) iOS6 - you could double click the home button, the controls (large) would appear on screen. You could hit play and instantly listen to some shuffled music. In iOS7 - you have to swipe up,hit play then hope it starts a track (which it doesnt always do)
2) The above isnt too much of an issue when the phone is on a desk in front of you, or in your hand... but when you're using the phone while running, the clunky process is unhelpful and unintuitive. If you use an arm band to hold your iphone while you exercise try dragging the control centre up, selecting the music app and playing a track while you've got a plastic cover over the screen - it's nigh on impossible
3) You cant enter the music app unless there's a track already playing - why isnt Music.app quickly accessible from Control Centre? I'd use that more than a stopwatch
3) There's no indication that a track is playing unless you open control centre. Where has the triangular 'play' icon gone in the taskbar?
-- In Album view, the coverart icons are too large- takes longer to scroll thru a collection of albums, especially as the alphbetical slider on the right hand side of the screen is smaller and omits every other letter
Overall, the app is flawed / too skewed toward the purchase of media via the iTunes store
I doubt very much whether Apple will read this post or listen to customer feedback and deviate from their design vision. Apple regularly claim they identify a customer need and fulfill it - would be good if they were good to their word on this particular aspect of iOS7

Which is a horrible app that shows every **** podcast you subsctribe to, whether or not you have a new episode, and doesn't let you arrange them properly to only show unplayed episodes. It's also a completely needless app since the Music app handles podcasts just fine.

Trouble deleting songs off Music with new IOS7

Is anybody else having trouble deleting songs off their iPhone using ios7?

What sort of "troubles" are you having? It might be that the songs you're seeing are stored in the cloud and not on the phone
try Settings>Music and turn show all music off and see if you can delete after that

Album View and Composer Tab on Music App on IOS7

The new Music App is not exactly brilliant...
There are several things what drive me "crazy":
1. The new Album View doesn't sort the albums alphabetically according the album artist, but by the name of the Album - the former cover flow did that and in itunes you can choose how you do it. Why can't you choose that in IOS7?
2. You selected a omposer - you go back to the composer list and select another composer - the music app on IOS 7 doesn't show the list of the songs by the new composer, but a mixture of the first selected and the selected composer... (that doesn't happen all the time, but very often) - when I go back to the composer list and select another composer I don't want to see a mixture.
3. Why are the Musicvideos shown in the Album view shown, too? I would start them via the vide app - how can I get them out of the album view?

See also this thread with same problem. Looks like a bug wrt. composer/album.

Google maps turn by turn directions no longer interrupts iTunes music player in iOS7

I often use Google Maps app when I travel while simultaneously listening to music. I have my iPhone connected to my car stereo via the Lightning port. In iOS6, when Google would give turn by turn directions the music volume would duck and the voice guided navigation would play through the car stereo. After updating to iOS7, this feature no longer works. With both iTunes and Google Maps open, the music volume is always dimmed and voice guided navigation is always off.
I do not notice this issue with Apple's Maps app. So far it appears to work properly and I am using this as a work around. However there are several reasons I favor Google Maps as a superior solution for the moment. For example, if I ask for directions to a specific location such as a local business Google is able to provide this information 90% of the time. By comparison, the same query with Siri usually results in having to search the web for an address first and then having to go back and ask for directions to that specific street address. It is a minor inconvenience, but it is enough of a hassle that I tend to stick with the better content of Google Maps for now.
Perhaps this bug is iOS7 related or perhaps the issue is with the Google Maps app. Either way, I am reporting because I'd love to see it fixed. I have noticed several bugs (this being one of many that I am reporting) since upgrading to iOS7 which has been very disappointing. I am a huge Apple advocate and this has not been the experience of "It just works" that I have come to expect from my Apple products. It is because I care so much about the Apple ecosystem that has made my work and play so much more enjoyable that I will take the time to report these in hopes that Apple will take notice and that subsequent updates will address these issues.

I never did. Partly I believe it's the interaction with my car's bluetooth connection and instructions it sends the phone when they connect. It seems like if I actively QUIT all applications that could play audio (SiriusXM, Podcasts, Music), then I can get the directions without any music. (That said, the SiriusXM app doesn't always play nice. If any of these are open, not even playing, then they start up when I select bluetooth audio on my car stereo. But I still can't tell the audio to stop without it muting either Google Maps or Apple's Maps. They both behave the same way.

Music Sorting by genre

Wondering if people here are sorting by genre and how, im looking for a way to sort by genre and then sub-genre. but of course finding difficulties doing that since most bands belong to a wide variety of genres. im looking to this using, Genre - Grouping - Artist, in Column browser.
I'm doing this in a non purist way. simply doing this to find my music the best as i can. example: Metal - Death Metal - Bandname... easy. but when organizing Indie rock or Alt. Rock, Hardcore, Goth... it pretty much all belongs to Punk rock in origin. then i'll have way too many bands under that genre of music. defeating the whole purpose of doing this.
Anybody got screens, of genre - grouping - band in itunes. i could of course, go through every single band in my collection find some vague similar genres too be able to group them under the same genre. must be a more simple way of doing this, or at least a little less time consuming.
idea. Alternative Rock - Indie Rock - band. and group things like indie pop, indie rock and grunge under Alternative Rock? even though Alt. rock really has its roots in post punk or punk rock, i would still have Punk and as a separate genre grouping things like emo, hardcore, punk revival under there. i want to hear your Genre- Grouping sort.
ps. in my collection i have everything from The Killers to Cannibal Corpse to KMFDM to Buck 65 to Micheal Jackson to Herbie Hancock. and those are only the names i think majority will regognize. about 300 artist overall. in most genres.
psII. yes i overly obsessive abotu things like this. and no i dont jsut do Rock, Classical, Jazz, World Music. cause then like 230 artists would be under Rock. and it wouldnt help me find peticular artists.
I'm sry about spelling mistakes. english is not my first language.

I was having a similar problem -- but noticed it only happened on albums where the "Album Artist" was not unique (such as when it was listed as "Various Artists" or "Unkown". When that happened, no matter what I did, the genre did not sync correctly to the IPhone.
My solution was to change the "Album Artist to something unique (mostly I used the name of the album in that field) and resync'd my IPhone. Suddenly the genre was sync'd correctly between Itunes and the IPhone.
Hope that helps...

IPhone music sorted incorrectly

Since enabling iTunes in the Cloud, my music is sorted incorrectly on my iPhone. Albums starting with "S" will appear under "T", for instance.
Even after disabling iTunes in the Cloud, the problem persists. I've tried synching my phone, to no avail.
See the attached photo for an example.

First off, thank you for the screenshot, users fail to post these and it helps out a ton.
The only thing that stjmps me is Truthfully Truthfully is sorted under V.
I switched to my albums tab on my iPhone and I have songs like "The You Asked..." which is sorted under Y because it ignores "The." I also have a song "The Wa.." sorted under W, which is again, ignoring "The" before it. I don't think there is any problem here, it's just the way it's sorted.
Are you having this issue with your songs tab or artists? What about playlists?

IPhone Music Sorting - Album year field

Hi
I originally posted the below in the iPhone section, but I think it may be more appropriate here.
I have a selection of radio shows and podcasts that I want to sort into a certain order on my iPhone, but no matter what I do in iTunes I cannot get them to display correctly. Here's what I have done so far:
1. Split the 'songs' into 'albums', with one album for each series/ group of podcasts.
2. Made sure that all of the 'songs' are correctly labelled in the 'info' tab. The following is the same for all songs:
     - Artist
     - Album Artist
     - All other fields are blank (with the exception of 'Year' which I will come on to later)
3. Changed the 'Album Sort' field on the 'Sorting' tab so that the albums are sorted in chronological order and the actual title of the 'album' is ignored. e.g.:
     - XFM Series 1 (from 2001) is labelled as 'A' in the 'Album Sort' field
     - XFM Series 2 (from 2002) is labelled as 'B'
     - XFM Series 3 (from 2003) is labelled as 'C'
     - XFM Series 4 (from 2004) is labelled as 'D'
     - Radio 2 shows (from 2005) are labelled as 'E'
Doing the above gets the albums to display perfectly in iTunes, with them being sorted in chronological order as dictated by the 'Album Sort' field.
I then synced the albums onto my iPhone and expected all to be well, but instead found that when I went to the 'Artists' tab they were listed in reverse chronological order (newest album first). So to fix this I went into iTunes and tried the following:
1. Went into the 'info' tab for all albums and set the year to 2001 for all. As the year is the same for all it should now sort by 'Album Sort' in theory. That didn't work though so I tried...
2. Set the years in reverse order for each album, so that the latest series 'Radio 2 shows' was labelled as 2001, and the oldest album 'XFM Series 1' was labelled as 2005.
That still didn't work, but even more strangely when I view the album on the iPhone a different year is being displayed under the title, e.g.:
XFM Series 3
12 Songs, 686 mins
2006
I have checked that album in iTunes and 2006 is not contained anywhere on the album or song info tabs. I have tried to add a different year in the year field, and also delete the year field, but no matter what I do 2006 continues to be displayed.
Where is this year being held within the file and how can I change it? I checked the ID3 tags for a song from that album in VLC and could not see 2006 referenced anywhere.
Thanks for any help!

Hello,
As far as I can see, you can't sort the order of music on the iPod Touch. It is always sorted alphabetically.
Maybe you can suggest that as a feature to Apple.

Music App Problems iOS7

I am not having problems syncing music with iOS7, however I am having other issues.
For example, the app OFTEN crashes and freezes. This is a native app, should not be having this issue.
Also, why did they take away the feature where double tapping the home button brings up the music controls? Can I bring that back?

Double tap the home button and close out all the "cards" you have open by swiping them up. Make sure you don't have any apps left open. Tap the home button again when your done or just tap on the screen that's left (that can't be closed) now open the music app again it should not crash now. To pull up music controls slide from the very bottom of your screen upward this will bring control center where you can control your music player from any screen (actually better if you ask me) just have to get used to it. Hope that helps. If it doesn't I would consider doing a back up and restore by connecting your phone to iTunes and following the instructions under restore iPhone.

Itunes music sorting question, itunes is sorting part of a cd incorrectly

ok here's the problem. I just imported a cd onto my itunes music file. it was originally filed as two cd's, one with the regular cd, the second with four bonus tracks that were released on various versions of the particular cd. this is what happened. itunes put the regular cd with the other cd's I have by the artist, but the bonus songs? they were stored in a new list, same band name, in an unalphabetized location on my itunes browser. the band is called "10 years" and the regular cd is, like I stated above, filed with the rest of the ten years tracks, but the bonus material? it's stored near the top of my artist list in a now new label that says ten years. i selected all the files for the cd, put them in as one cd, with one cd title, all filed as (correct track number) of 17 tracks, and its still sorting them separately. so in summation, the regular cd's 13 tracks are filed with the rest of the ten years tracks, but the bonus songs are filed in an all new ten years artist label at the top of my artist list, instead of at the bottom where the band names that start with numbers are stored. in the six or so years i've used i tunes this has never happened. i've imported hundreds upon hundreds of cd's into itunes and this has NEVAR happened. I tried deleting the cd, after it was correctly labeled and then re importing it but to the same no effect. it still files them separately, and incorrectly i must add. lastly, the actual file location of the tracks is correct. they're all in my ten years file, all in one folder under the cd title. when i select the "correct" ten years file on my itunes browser all the songs are listed, but the bonus songs are above the regular songs on the list. so track 1-13 are UNDER track 14-17. now I know its not a big "problem" but it IS quite frustrating. I'm a little OCD about my music and dont want anything out of order or mislabeled, etc. if you have ANY idea what is causing this issue please help. i would appreciate it.

Ah, that's the same fix as I describe in One album, still too many covers. I've no idea why iTunes does this one either. Funnily enough it seems to happen sometimes when I rename an existing album which is properly grouped so I know the values must be consistent because I've only just changed them, and did so all at the same time.
